This private tour was exactly what I needed. It was just our small group, so everything felt much more relaxed and flexible. We spent extra time in Laodicea because we were so into the ruins, and our guide didn’t rush us at all. The private setting at lunch was also a nice touch. Kaklik Cave and Honaz Waterfalls were quiet and beautiful—perfect for photos without crowds. A perfect, personalized day.

The best part of this tour? The private setup. We had the freedom to explore without sticking to someone else’s schedule. The guide was fantastic and very attentive, answering our questions and adjusting the pace depending on how much we wanted to see. Laodicea was a highlight—huge and fascinating—and we weren’t competing for space with other groups. The cave and waterfalls were just as peaceful. Couldn’t have asked for a better way to explore the area.

We really enjoyed this private tour—it was calm, flexible, and very comfortable compared to larger group trips. Having a guide just for us made it easy to ask questions and take our time, especially at Laodicea, which was fascinating. The only reason it’s not a full five stars is that the cave was a bit more humid than expected, and the path inside could use some upkeep. But overall, we had a fantastic day with some beautiful stops.

What I liked most was that it was just us—no waiting around for others or sticking to a tight schedule. Our guide was friendly and let us take our time, which we appreciated at both Laodicea and the waterfalls. The cave was surprisingly cool to see. My only small critique is the lunch—it was decent, but nothing special. That said, I’d still absolutely recommend this tour if you want something quiet and personalized.
